A deserted outpost is discovered inside of Mars by a research team. The outpost
contains incredibly advanced technology and appears to have been deserted for over
300 years. The research team is mysteriously able to interface with the outpost's
computer systems and gain full access to the technology. They learn that this outpost
is one of hundreds of research facilities set up by an alien race called the Zell
to monitor intelligent life in this galaxy. The life this outpost was monitoring
was human life on Earth. Reasons for the outpost being abandoned were unknown, but
the method of evacuation was quickly discovered.

A hyperspace gateway connecting the Mars outpost to a very distant sector of our
galaxy was activated by the research team after careful study of the technology.
This sector was used as a central hub to the other outposts, supplying power and
resources through the gateways. The Hub Sector was rich with advanced technology
and various resource installations. Hyperon energy was discovered, and humanity
wasn't ready for it...
